✅ Advantages of This Model
1. Durability & Strength
The shredding chamber is made of Q345B heavy-duty steel, with a 40mm wall thickness, ensuring minimal deformation under stress. Blades are crafted from H13 or D2 tool steel, hardened to HRC60, which significantly extends their working life.
2. Smart and Safe Operation
With PLC control, automatic pusher, and dual protection systems (travel switch & proximity switch), the shredder operates intelligently and safely, reducing labor and maintenance time.
3. Consistent Output
Equipped with 44 rotating blades and 2 fixed blades, this shredder delivers uniform particle sizes, aided by the 20mm screen, ideal for downstream processing.
4. Energy Efficiency
Powered by a 22kW main motor and a 2.2kW oil pump motor, the system is optimized for energy-saving performance while maintaining strong throughput.
❓ Discussion: Is a Single Shaft Shredder Right for You?
When choosing a shredder, many clients ask:
“Should I choose a single shaft or double shaft shredder?”
Here’s a quick comparison to guide your decision:
| Feature | Single Shaft Shredder | Double Shaft Shredder |
|---|---|---|
| Output size control | ✔ Precise (via screen) | ✘ Less precise |
| Maintenance | ✔ Easier blade replacement | ✘ Complex structure |
| Materials | ✔ Light to medium hardness | ✔ Medium to hard (metal etc.) |
| Speed & Fineness | ✔ Higher precision, slower speed | ✘ Coarse size, higher torque |
If your goal is precise, clean output from plastics, textiles, or wood, the single shaft shredder is often the best choice.
